Moving Forward

Throughout this course I was able to learn a lot about data visualization and reproducible research. At each project I was able to learn a lot and improve. My biggest takeaway from the first project was to make sure the x axis labels when it came to days of the week were in order. Project 2 was my favorite and I was able to learn so much about spatial visualizations and focusing on one subset to create a better story line to understand the data better. Project 3 was the most challenging. Trying to recreate the visualizations was hard because I had to look at all the small details to make sure it was right. In the future I will continue to incorporate all the lessons I learned on good story telling with data visualizations. I am also looking forward to using Github more for more collaborative work!
